Deploying the SmartLinx Neuron
In typical deployments of the SmartLinx Neuron, you can mount it on the wall, or mount it on a roll stand or other mobile configuration using commercially available, compatible mounting solutions (not supplied by Capsule).
It is your responsibility to select an appropriate mounting solution and ensure that it is safely setup.
Note: For compliance with EN/IEC 60601-1, the SmartLinx Neuron is not classified as a portable device. Instead, the SmartLinx Neuron must be deployed as one of:- Mobile device - Fixed device
Precautions for all deployments
Considerations for wall-mounted deploymentsWhen you are deciding where to place the SmartLinx Neuron at the point of care, Capsule recommends that you take account of the following considerations.
• Mount the SmartLinx Neuron near the head of the bed or on the head wall in the patient room.• To allow clinicians easy access to the SmartLinx Neuron touch screen, mount the SmartLinx Neuron
no more than 1.5 meters (5 feet) or less than 1 meter (3 feet, 3 inches) from the ground.• If there are medical devices connected to the ports on the SmartLinx Neuron, position the SmartLinx
Neuron on the same side of the bed as those devices. • Make sure that you take account of the length of the cables required to connect the SmartLinx
Neuron and the medical devices.
Warning: Fire and explosion hazard. Do not operate the SmartLinx Neuron in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen, or nitrous oxide; in oxygen-enriched environments; or in any other potentially explosive environment.
Caution:• Do not place the SmartLinx Neuron inside furniture or inside any enclosed space. This could
prevent correct cooling of the device and interfere with radio communications.• Operate the SmartLinx Neuron only within these environmental conditions:
- Temperature: +10°C to +40°C (+32°F to °+104°F)- Atmospheric pressure: Atmospheric pressure: 700 hPa to 1060 hPa- Altitude: -100 meters to +2000 meters (-328 feet to +6560 feet)- Humidity: 10% to 95% RH non-condensing
• Do not stack the SmartLinx Neuron or place it next to other equipment. If you do, then check it for normal operation running its usual configuration.
• In semi-private rooms, connectors must be placed or labeled so that they clearly indicate the bed for which they collect data.

Connecting the SmartLinx Neuron to the power supply
Once deployed, on a wall or roll stand for example, you can connect the SmartLinx Neuron to the power supply.
Power requirementsThe SmartLinx Neuron is designed to use the IEC 60601-1-compliant, external DC power supply and power cables that are provided with the SmartLinx Neuron. For precise information, refer to the Technical Information in chapter 5 of this document.
Connecting the SmartLinx Neuron to the power supply1. The power brick that was shipped with your SmartLinx Neuron has a power cable on one end,
and an open plug on the other end. Plug that power cable into the SmartLinx Neuron at the DC-in power connector (as illustrated).
2. Tighten the locking mechanism on the DC-in power connector to lock the power plug in place.3. Plug the power cable that was shipped with your SmartLinx Neuron into the open plug on the
power brick.
4. Plug the other end of that power cable into an grounded electrical outlet (generally 3-prongs).
Cautions:• Always use the hospital-grade, AC power cable delivered with the product to connect the
SmartLinx Neuron to an AC power source. Do not, under any circumstances, use any other cable than the one provided, even to provide extra cable length. The use of any other cable can result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the device with regards to electromagnetic interference.
• Do not connect the SmartLinx Neuron to an AC outlet that is controlled with a switch or dimmer.• Do not, under any circumstances, remove the grounding conductor from the power plug.• Do not use extension cords or adapters of any type.• The power cable, supply, and plug must remain intact and undamaged.• The power plug must remain accessible to unplug the device from the power supply mains if
necessary.
Caution: For safety, cables are designed to prevent inadvertent disconnection if someone accidentally pulls on them. However, make sure that you route cables so that they do not present a tripping hazard.
Warning: You must only connect the SmartLinx Neuron’s power brick to an appropriate power source. To avoid risk of electric shock, use a grounded (3-prong) electrical power outlet.
